These are fantastic podcasts. Definitely my new daily favorite. Every guest is just phenomenal. I'm likely not going in order but just working my way down the list the way that TH-cam has been listed.
He says that the Church needs to integrate “chaos” better in its midst. Meanwhile, the only growing and thriving parts of the Church are the traditional elements (Latin Mass, stained glass, incense and tonsure, the ‘oldtime religion’ etc.). Maybe men are looking for responsibility and order in a chaotic world. For myself, I’m suppose to live up to all my responsibilities when it comes to women, Church, employment, but the world gives us nothing in return. Where is our role as men in God’s grand story?
To get out of your own way. The order you describe is often a way to feel in control, gain control, and often controlling of others to feel in control, becomes the way of being. One needs to learn to regulate their internal world, through emotional regulation (not repression…as that leads to harm towards others and self), and realize the inherent uncertainty and groundlessness in life. It is the fighting, trying to control, this reality that leads to so much suffering. Your last sentence is where you can ask the divine. Faith requires that you finally “get”, that there are massive amounts of information you don’t (or won’t) ever have. The divine purpose far outreaches our human understanding. When we are using conceptual processes, and the western overthinking mind, we will simply not be in the space to “know”.

As always, this talk with Dr Rohr settled my despair from taking action. Danke
This is a compliment to your work and wisdom. Thank you for having Fr. Rohr on, Brett.
The Biblical scholarship is amazing. What a great video. Thank you Fr. Richard Rohr. Veronica OCDS R. I.
